Áldozott

Áldozott is a Hungarian word that translates to "sacrificed" or "offered" in English. It is the past tense of the verb áldozni, which means to sacrifice, offer, or commune. The word has significant religious and cultural connotations in Hungary.

In a religious context, áldozott often refers to the act of making a sacrifice to a deity. This could involve offering an animal, food, or other valuable items as a form of worship, atonement, or petition. In Christianity, the term is also used in relation to the Eucharist or Holy Communion, where bread and wine are consecrated and consumed as a symbolic offering and remembrance of Christ's sacrifice. The act of receiving communion is often described as having "áldozott."

Beyond religious practices, áldozott can also denote a more general act of sacrifice, where something valuable is given up for the benefit of others or for a greater cause. This might include personal sacrifices of time, comfort, or resources. The word carries a sense of devotion, selflessness, and a profound act of giving. Its usage can range from solemn religious ceremonies to more secular expressions of dedication.
